All Hail The King

“Iron Man 3,” with the reveal that the character that everyone thought was the Mandarin was actually Trevor Slattery (supposedly an actor of some repute in British theater circles) was a pretty bold move.

Some fans rolled with it, while others were a bit peeved. Myself, I thought it was a particularly ballsy move on Marvel’s part. Ben Kingsley was remarkable, and his portrayal of Slattery was fun and an interesting twist.

When I heard that his adventures were being continued in the Marvel One-Shot “All Hail The King” I was jazzed to see it.

And seen it I have, and so can you, and I say that it was worth the wait. It’s a bunch of good, cheeky fun.

Hopefully, Slattery turns up on an episode of “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” That would be all sorts of awesome.
